Jack Merkel moved on from the '39 in favor of a steel-bodied 1933 Gasser Coupe that he'd modified to compete in the A/GS class for the 1965 season. He'd swapped in the supercharged 364 CID small-block Chevy once again, but this time for a harder class. Even though the small-blocked Gasser seemed handicapped against the big blocks of the A/GS class, it took down six-time consecutive reigning Nationals Champion Ohio George Montgomery at the 1965 NHRA Nationals. Merkel unfortunately lost out against Doug Cook the following round, but everyone was raving about the small-blocked car that had beaten what seemed to be the unbeatable Ohio George.
